New Year's Resolutions

1/19/2012

If you've made the resolution to lose weight this year like thousands of other people, here is a place you can get started. I recently found a New Balance Factory Store near the Ontario Mills Shopping Center. They have a decent selection of shoes for running, trail running, hiking, and walking all at very affordable prices. You can also find workout clothes, running shorts, warm-ups, socks, and jackets. Make this your first stop in preparing to lose that weight and start working out. The best part? They always offer a 20% military discount with no minimum purchase!
